Winegard wingman

Or is the sensar the standard rv antenna?

I think it will fit all the Winegard batwings, just make sure it will clear your AC when retracted. Due to some other problems, I replaced my antenna head only with the Sensar IV, which comes with the wingman built-in. Very simple, just two pins to remove and replace. The results were astounding!! Results with just the Wingman add-on have been varied according to postings here on this forum.

X2 felt much better about replacing the head with everything built in. Works great.
Sensar IV

It took longer to get the ladder than it took to install the Wingman®.

I put one on our 1999 MH antenna and had great results.

There are basically 3 Winegard "over the air" antennas.

The Sensar is the standard "Batwing" model, when we speak of the "Batwing" That's what we are usually talking about. And the Wingman fits.

The next one is the Sensar with the Wingman already installed (Ok so it's packaged in the box with the antenna, not installed as shipped but you get the idea) clearly you would not be buying the wingman if you had that one.

The thrid is the Roadstar, JUNK, it's the "Flying Saucer" model If you wish to see a photo of it go to Radio Shack , they sell the same antenna under their name.

Now I am wondering. Do you get any gain/plus up with the Sensar?

Or is it the same antenna as is on the fifth wheel and includes the wingman?

I am gonna get one or the other.

The antenna on your 5er us probably a Sensar III® and it looks like the one on the right in this photo.

In the lower left corner is the Wingman® which gives you 3 dB gain on the UHF channels.

In the center of the photo is the Sensar IV® (Sensar III® w/ Wingman®)

thanks for the clarification Paul.

Dave, the above pic is a sensar II. The way it was explained to me from winguard is you look at the center housing. As you can see the sensar III has a tear drop shaped center housing. If you have the 3 add the wingman. If you have the 2 the replacement head is the better bet. The sensar IV (3/ w wingman) is a higher gain antenna :)
